Looking for More

Lloyd Grogan, one of the top 30 prospects in the initial TSD Top 50, has already put together an impressive offer list. Hoping to add to his total, Grogan will make at least one more SEC camp before summer's end.

With summer in full swing, Lloyd Grogan hasn’t slowed from
the pace he keeps during the school year – at least on the field.

First came a trip to Atlanta for the National Underclassmen
Combine, which was followed by a trip to the Georgia Tech campus. Then Grogan
stopped off in Baton Rouge, spending three days working with the LSU staff
during the team’s first camp in June.

In recent weeks, he switched his game to the hardwood.

“I’m just trying to keep my name out there and show everyone
what I’ve got,” said Grogan, a 6-foot-1, 215-pounder. “I felt like I did pretty
well over at the NUC, especially given the competition. The guys out there were
good.

“I’ve been playing basketball in the school’s summer league
ever since I camped in Baton Rouge. I thought LSU was really nice. They worked
me exclusively at defensive back even though the coaches have mentioned
linebacker.

“Coach (Ron) Cooper wants me back for the next session in
July. He said he wants to get me in with the committed guys. They are supposed
to have the top prospects at that one, so it will be stiff competition and he
can get a good evaluation in.”

While the Tigers have yet to offer, the rising senior isn’t
short on opportunities elsewhere.

“I am debating on going to Tennessee on July 18. During that
time LSU will have a camp also, so I have to think about what I am going
to do then.

“I am not rushing a decision or anything. I am going to take
some visits and let things play out. Things are moving about how I expected
them to.”

A first-team All-State selection at defensive back, Grogan
finished his junior season with 69 tackles, 21 for a loss, three interceptions,
and two forced fumbles. On the offensive side Grogan rushed 101 times for 700
yards.
